My old Acer died on me so need to get new laptop. Could you guys please suggest what laptops is suitable for me?

1. Brand - Anything BUT Acer

2. Budget - RM2 - 2.5K. The less the better because I want to upgrade the warranty to as long as possible. Bad experience coz my Acer spoiled one month after my 1-year warranty expire. Damn heart pain. haha

3. Specs - as good as it can. But if I need to state - more than 2GB RAM

4. Size - 14"

Will be using it alot for my studies (bio stuff). A lot of softwares for phylogenetic analyses and these are statistical tools, so quite tedious and complicated . Other than that, only normal surfing and watching movies.

Help, thanks!
